Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is beautiful and we loved that we had a spacious room (the Executive room), with coffee and creamer. Bed wasn’t amazing but fine. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the underground pool and sauna, steam facilities were really lovely. Almost like a sauna house. Rooftop bar was also great but would benefit from serving food as well as drinks.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! THIS IS A 1 STAR MOTEL. THIS IS NOT ONLY THE WORST HOTEL IN PARIS, FRANCE. THIS IS THE WORST HOTEL IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. The hotel has fake information on both their website and on the Hotels.com website. It is a total SCAM. I have never had a worse experience at a hotel in my entire life. This hotel has the worst service, it smells like a sewer, it has the most disgusting dirtiest rooms, (see photos) and the hotel lies on their website about the size of the rooms. Nothing works in the hotel room and even if you ask directly to the GM to simply make the lights work they ignore every request. They also lie about the size of the rooms on their website and on the Hotels.com website. I have never had to write a review like this before. Save your Time, and your money. I only stay at 5 star hotels with Hotels.com with a 9+ exceptional rating and I was scammed into booking this hotel. This hotel was advertised as a 5 star hotel! This is a one star motel, if that. It is dirty, the rooms are dark and tiny, and they are so small that it is impossible to even walk around the tiny queen bed to even get to what they call a Bathroom, which is impossible for even one person to fit in in their combination toilet/shower. The “General Manager”, is trash and completely incompetent. We brought all of the issues to her attention very politely on AFTER OUR arrival, hoping that something could at least be cleaned or fixed, and everything was completely ignored.
Everything in the room was dirty and disgusting in the housekeepers never cleaned anything and we were there for days because we had prepaid and the hotel refused to refund our money
More dirty lamps that were not cleaned even after 10 requests to the hotel staff and the General Manager
There is dirt and dust everywhere and this is after two days for we had requested specifically and showed them to clean this and send this photos
All of your clothing will be just disgustingly dirty because the hotel is so dirty and gross and the housekeepers do not wear deodorant and smell like sewage. They don’t clean themselves they don’t clean the rooms either.
